Weather Updates from TV6 Meteorologists Karl Bohnak and Jennifer Perez
West through northwest winds 10-20 mph tonight in the U.P. as winter makes its blustery return, with the jet stream driving in frigid polar air. Overnight lows to drop to -10s in interior locations, plus few to scattered snow showers that linger mainly along the west-northwest wind belts near Lake Superior. Careful out on slick and icy patches on the roads, plus drive with caution for potential potholes caused by freeze-thaw.

A west-northwesterly jet stream tracks in a series of clipper systems from the Canadian Prairies to bring snow chances to the U.P. Friday through next Monday.
Under the west-northwesterly jet stream, temperatures trend below seasonal throughout much of the weekend in Upper Michigan. Then a gradual warmup follows as the jet stream shifts from the southwest next week.
